- Abstract
- The addition of Cu becomes essential in polycrystalline n-type Bi-2(Te,Se)(3)-based alloys since it is known to enhance stability of carrier transport properties as well as thermoelectric performance. However, a way to further optimize is necessary owing to the limited controllability of transport parameters by Cu addition. Herein, we present improved carrier transport properties via I-doping in Cu0.008Bi2Te2.7Se0.3. Weighted mobility and effective mass are increased simultaneously by small amount doping of I at Te/Se-site. As a result, similar to 15% increased power factor and high average thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) of 0.79 were obtained in a wide temperature range. (C) 2020 Acta Materialia Inc.
